Maps & Mayhem, a textile masterclass with Morwenna Catt

Morwenna Catt works between Norway and the UK and is an artist working across media with a specialism in textiles. Using her evocative installation Sweethearts & Sandbags in Craft+Conflict as inspiration, she will help you create your own personal embroidered maps with text and images.

Morwenna will provide some images, texts about conflict and resolution and a variety of vintage fabrics to help us think about the journey of conflict in an abstract or personal way or to home in on historical or current narratives.

Participants can email their images and lines of text in advance to be printed onto silk or cotton. Morwenna will also bring her camera/laptop/printer and do them on site. Feel free to bring your own sewing boxes, sewing machines and any fabrics or you wish to use. We will also work by hand on embroidery hoops.
